In The Heat Seat this week, Emma Kennedy gets fired up! Emma is a Patron of the mighty Menopause Mandate campaign and aims to raise awareness on a number of female health topics, including the menopause and also mental health. Emma discusses her complicated relationship with her own mother, her horrific experience during a routine gynae procedure, and being taken to hospital in an ambulance with heart concerns that turned out to be the peri-menopause. Follow us on Instagram @menopausemandate In partnership with Let's all Talk Menopause Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode I’m talking to my 4th inspirational Orca, Emma Kennedy, author, actress, former lawyer, brilliant cook, downright renaissance woman! After being hospitalised with heart palpitations she realised her Menopause, which she smugly thought was done and dusted, wasn’t done with her yet. She was wearing a heart monitor as we spoke! She has decided even with her family risk of Breast Cancer to go on a low dose of estrogen and it’s changed her life. We also talk about discovering she's got high cholesterol which has meant her love affair with cheese and wine is finally over, but it’s opening up a brighter future. 6 pack revolution https://thesixpackrevolution.com/ Emma's Drink recommendations 0.0 Guinness Lyre Dry London spirit Clausthaller - lager If you want to join in and Be More Orca, head to https://www.bemoreorcapod.co.uk/ or follow me @be.more.orca for my Menopause Diary and much more Presented and Edited by India Fisher Produced by James Whittlesea Artwork by Damian & Becky Jones @ Big Picture Studio Music by Scott Billings Hosted on Acast.

Bestselling author, screenwriter and TV presenter Emma Kennedy joins Dr Louise Newson in this episode to talk candidly about her menopause experience. Emma describes how she thought she had got through her menopause when terrifying heart palpitations and anxiety struck. After always being fearful of HRT due to a strong family history of breast cancer, a careful and detailed discussion with a GP around the risks and benefits led to her starting a low dose of hormones. ‘It's the first time I've ever cried in front of a doctor,’ she says. ‘Ever, ever. I felt that terrible. [But] Just that tiny amount of estrogen and the heart palpitations stopped in 48 hours and they haven't come back. It's like a miracle.’ Dr Louise and Emma talk about the importance of a personalised discussion between a doctor and a patient to assess whether and what type of HRT may be the right choice. Emma also talks about the lifestyle changes she has made to reduce breast cancer risk and help control menopausal symptoms. Emma, who wrote the bestselling The Tent, The Bucket and Me, also talks about her frustration with the pain and discomfort women are often expected to put up with during routine procedures. She gives a stirring call to action for the speculum – the device used in many intimate procedures – to be, at the very least, radically improved.

Emma Kennedy is quite possibly the most multi-talented podcast guest I've interviewed. The 55-year-old is an accomplished author, producer, playwright, TV scriptwriter, she wrote The Kennedys, a 2015 BBC comedy based on her memoir of family holidays in the 1970s, The Tent, The Bucket and Me, and has contributed to numerous other shows including Miranda and Jonathon Creek. She has acted in sitcoms, worked with Mel & Sue, holds a Guinness Record and is a Celebrity Masterchef winner ( 2012). And, no doubt, you will recognise her voice from the radio because she does that, too. Emma began performing at Oxford University, becoming President of The Oxford Revue and a regular fixture at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. On graduating, she trained as a solicitor and for three years practised law in London, including a stint working with Sir Keir Starmer. But in 1995, much to her mum's dismay, she left the legal world to focus on writing and the creative arts. Publishing her first novel, How To Bring Up Your Parents, in 2007, she has since released eleven books, including the Wilma Tenderfoot series of children’s books. Her latest publication, Letters From Brenda, is her most personal to date. Simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking - I was in tears by page four - it is an incredibly moving tribute to her late mum, Brenda; who suffered from an undiagnosed mental illness throughout her life. Three years after her mum's death, Emma's father sold the family home and the new owner uncovered a pile of lost letters (written by Brenda) hidden in two suitcases in the loft. Eventually, Emma read through the letters (published unedited ' apart from the bits that are so libellous, no sensible editor would allow them') and used writing the book to work out what was wrong with her complex, charismatic, unpredictable mother. The woman she adored. ' My mother and I had a complicated relationship: she was difficult and volatile, but I knew that wasn't the whole story. In fact, I realised, I didn't really know her story at all.' Anyone who grew up in the 1970s, an era when families simply didn't talk about the important stuff, when serious issues like mental health were brushed under the Axminster, will relate to this. In this episode, she talks candidly about her complex relationship with Brenda and how writing the book helped her to overcome the guilt she felt about not addressing her mum's illness. Along the way we discuss her successful career in TV, radio and comedy, together with her newfound love of health and fitness. And of course, we cover the usual TNMA topics such as ageing and menopause. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting to Emma; she is charming, friendly, witty and wise.

My guest today began performing at Oxford with Stewart Lee and Richard Herring. She trained as a solicitor before moving into writing, presenting, acting, stand up and…pretty much everything. She’s won a Chortle Award, she was ‘Fun’ Editor at Tatler, Celebrity Masterchef Champion and – most importantly –runner up at the World Conker championship. Described in the Independent as TV’s Swiss army knife - Emma Kennedy is also the author of a remarkable new book, Letters from Brenda - a painful, funny record of Emma’s relationship with her complex, charismatic mum, Brenda, who died of breast cancer. Revisiting her mother’s letters has also allowed Emma to process a difficult childhood and the letters chart her mother’s struggles with mental health. TW: suicide, cancer In this episode we talk about: mental health generational trauma acts of service the power of dogs …and Lego …and comedy Letters From Brenda is out now, and you can follow Emma @ EmmaKennedy My book, How To Be Sad, the key to a happier life is out in paperback and as an audiobook – and if you enjoyed this episode, give it 5 stars and leave a review and I’ll love you forever.

After her mother, Brenda, passed away and her father sold the family home, broadcaster and writer Emma Kennedy found herself floundering, unable to make peace with the complex, charismatic woman who had been her mum. And then they found the letters.... This heartbreakingly funny book about the impact of discovering lost letters is a celebration of correspondence; those lost acts of penned love, the vivid snapshots in time scattered back through a life. It is also about a childhood shrouded in shame, the lies Brenda told her family, the madness that set in and ultimately, what it means to be a daughter and a mother. Finally, Emma allows herself to explore what she couldn't while she was growing up: the question of who her mother really was.

Let's be honest, we've done quite well to have held off until half way through the third series before tackling this one, but there's been a Brachiosaurus in the room since the start of Terrible Lizards and it is very much Jurassic Park-shaped. There's no point dissecting all the details about the film and its depiction of dinosaurs (though we look at a few) but we focus on its appearance at the time and the effect it had on shaping the public's perceptions of dinosaurs (for better and worse) and what that means for science educators. We also talk about other contemporary films and how things translated from books to screen and the difficulty of dealing with the blend of science and fiction. Our guest this week is author, actor and screenwriter Emma Kennedy who wants to know just how (un)likely it is we could resurrect dinosaurs.

Do you feel we prioritise and use physical health enough to help those with challenges/issues with their mental health? 5. If I could wave a magic wand to allow you to magically just be able to do 'one' physical thing what would you want to do any why? ..Bonus Which event in Strongman was your favourite or greatest personal achievement and why? *** Emma is a Personal Trainer and Sports Massage Therapist in Gloucester.
